Working in Stornoway

We cover all of Stornoway, including HS1. Because Stornoway is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Stornoway gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Stornoway bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Stornoway home to go with the application.

Water across much of the Highlands and Islands is soft. If that holds for your street in Stornoway, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

Decisions to make first

Walk-in bath

A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Stornoway: questions

Is the home survey in Stornoway really free?

Do you cover HS1 in Stornoway?

Yes. We cover all of Stornoway, including HS1, and nearby the surrounding area. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
